68/100
👎 Skip It
This one gives you exactly what a good Amish saga should: real orchard and canning detail, a heroine working through guilt at her own pace, and family threads that connect naturally. It's a series opener though, so quite a bit is left unresolved for book two, and the pacing is deliberate rather than quick.
